Creation of Confusion

I think that if a couple wants to adopt, then dammit, give them a child. Figure all the paperwork out later. Let that child start their life with their family without having to make them wait one more day.

On the logical side, I understand that not all couples are reliable and they could just take off without a second thought on following through with whatever legal matters need to be resolved. It's just so frustrating, the more I think that we have another little girl somewhere in Russia and because we have to wait for bureaucracy, we cannot begin to know who she is.

I love my family, couldn't get by a day without them, but my family today is not what I wanted. The only thing missing is more kids. That's all I want. Is that so much to ask?

Ok, enough for self pity today.

Hubby and I had an awesome conversation last night. He had read an article talking about how in a sixth grade class somewhere in the country, the debate of evolution vs. creation is again up for review. A novel idea came to me. Why not let the kids decide what they wanted to study? Is it too much to ask for a teacher who can present both "theories" to the students without imparting their own views on them? The class can be split into students who want to study creation and evolution. They can even switch halfway through the year. I just think that instead of criticizing a point of view because it cannot be supported by science doesn't mean that it should not be explored. I think that we take away a lot of creativity from kids when we flood them with preconceptions that one way of thinking is superior over another.

I have devised my own creation theory over the years and it constantly evolves because of conversations that I have with different people. Just because I adapt one idea of theirs doesn't mean that I abandon my own way of thinking. I don't let my ego get in the way of my creating. And I think the ego is the main obstacle that prohibits us (humanity collectively) from entertaining the vague possibility that... dare I say it.... we might be WRONG!!!
